My natural hair journey is going pretty well. Currently, I am 50/50; meaning I'm 50% natural and 50% relaxed. I have considered big chopping...but I just can't. I'm so eager to see what my wash-n-go will look like...but I will just have faith that it'll be beautiful when the time is right.
I've been wearing a lacefront wig (LFW) for the past month-all good, all good ladies. Actually, I have a love/hate relationship with any kind of artificial hair. The love is that I get to take a break from the hands-in-hair (HIH)syndrome that seems to be running rampant not only with me and the curly community but women around the world. My hair is in a protective style and has the chance to grow freely. The hate is there is such a learning curve with these wigs. I bow down to the ladies who have mastered the whole wig thing or at least make it look easy while suffering like me. But I transend and keep the faith. The trimming of the lace (sheww that can take a minute to understand for the novice) and the color and texture is certainly a learning curve. Pins vs. combs and bands and trimming to a natural/believable length....making my head spin. But like anything else I'm learning as I go and taking it in stride. I'm wearing a straight unit now which matches my natural hair color and I get lotsa compliments- so that helps.
What are you doing to get through the transistion phase?
